<p>Starting with version 2.3.0, it is advisable to try leaving this blank. In

<p>A good test is to browse a table, edit a row and save it. There should be
an error message if phpMyAdmin is having trouble auto–detecting the correct
value. If you get an error that this must be set or if the autodetect code
fails to detect your path, please post a bug report on our bug tracker so
we can improve the code.</p>

<li>&#8216;config&#8217; authentication (<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$auth_type&nbsp;=&nbsp;'config'</span></tt>) is the plain old

<li>&#8216;cookie&#8217; authentication mode (<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$auth_type&nbsp;=&nbsp;'cookie'</span></tt>) as
introduced in 2.2.3 allows you to log in as any valid MySQL user with
the help of cookies. Username and password are stored in cookies
during the session and password is deleted when it ends. This can also

<li>&#8216;signon&#8217; authentication mode (<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$auth_type&nbsp;=&nbsp;'signon'</span></tt>) as

<p>This part requires a content update!  Since release 2.3.0 you can
store comments to describe each column for each table. These will then
be shown on the &#8220;printview&#8221;.</p>
<p>Starting with release 2.5.0, comments are consequently used on the table
property pages and table browse view, showing up as tool-tips above the
column name (properties page) or embedded within the header of table in
browse view. They can also be shown in a table dump. Please see the
relevant configuration directives later on.</p>
<p>Also new in release 2.5.0 is a MIME- transformation system which is also
based on the following table structure. See <a class="reference internal" href="transformations.html#transformations"><em>Transformations</em></a> for
further information. To use the MIME- transformation system, your
column_info table has to have the three new columns &#8216;mimetype&#8217;,
&#8216;transformation&#8217;, &#8216;transformation_options&#8217;.</p>

<p>Since release 3.3.x a tracking mechanism is available. It helps you to
track every <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-sql"><em class="xref std std-term">SQL</em></a> command which is
executed by phpMyAdmin. The mechanism supports logging of data
manipulation and data definition statements. After enabling it you can
create versions of tables.</p>
<p>The creation of a version has two effects:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>phpMyAdmin saves a snapshot of the table, including structure and
indexes.</li>
<li>phpMyAdmin logs all commands which change the structure and/or data of
the table and links these commands with the version number.</li>
</ul>
<p>Of course you can view the tracked changes. On the <em class="guilabel">Tracking</em>
page a complete report is available for every version. For the report you
can use filters, for example you can get a list of statements within a date
range. When you want to filter usernames you can enter * for all names or
you enter a list of names separated by &#8216;,&#8217;. In addition you can export the
(filtered) report to a file or to a temporary database.</p>

The former feature highlights the row over which your mouse is passing
and the latter lets you visually mark/unmark rows by clicking on the
corresponding checkbox. Highlighting / marking a column is done by
hovering over / clicking the column&#8217;s header (outside of the text).

<p>The name of the directory where temporary files can be stored.</p>
<p>This is needed for importing ESRI Shapefiles, see <a class="reference internal" href="faq.html#faq6-30"><em>6.30 Import: How can I import ESRI Shapefiles</em></a> and to
work around limitations of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">open_basedir</span></tt> for uploaded files, see
<a class="reference internal" href="faq.html#faq1-11"><em>1.11 I get an &#8216;open_basedir restriction&#8217; while uploading a file from the query box.</em></a>.</p>
<p>If the directory where phpMyAdmin is installed is
subject to an <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">open_basedir</span></tt> restriction, you need to create a
temporary directory in some directory accessible by the web server.
However for security reasons, this directory should be outside the
tree published by webserver. If you cannot avoid having this directory
published by webserver, place at least an empty <tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">index.html</span></tt> file
there, so that directory listing is not possible.</p>
<p>This directory should have as strict permissions as possible as the only
user required to access this directory is the one who runs the webserver.
If you have root privileges, simply make this user owner of this directory
and make it accessible only by it:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre>chown www-data:www-data tmp
chmod 700 tmp
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If you cannot change owner of the directory, you can achieve a similar
setup using <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-acl"><em class="xref std std-term">ACL</em></a>:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre>chmod 700 tmp
setfacl -m <span class="s2">&quot;g:www-data:rwx&quot;</span> tmp
setfacl -d -m <span class="s2">&quot;g:www-data:rwx&quot;</span> tmp
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If neither of above works for you, you can still make the directory
<strong class="command">chmod 777</strong>, but it might impose risk of other users on system
reading and writing data in this directory.</p>

<p>All those variables affect the query window feature. A <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-sql"><em class="xref std std-term">SQL</em></a> link or
icon is always displayed in the navigation panel. If JavaScript is enabled
in your browser, a click on this opens a distinct query window, which is a
direct interface to enter <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-sql"><em class="xref std std-term">SQL</em></a> queries. Otherwise, the right panel
changes to display a query box.</p>
<p>The size of this query window can be customized with
<span class="target" id="index-72"></span><a class="reference internal" href="#cfg_QueryWindowWidth"><tt class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['QueryWindowWidth']</span></tt></a> and
<span class="target" id="index-73"></span><a class="reference internal" href="#cfg_QueryWindowHeight"><tt class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['QueryWindowHeight']</span></tt></a> - both integers for the size in
pixels.  Note that normally, those parameters will be modified in
<tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">layout.inc.php`</span></tt> for the theme you are using.</p>
<p>If <span class="target" id="index-74"></span><a class="reference internal" href="#cfg_EditInWindow"><tt class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['EditInWindow']</span></tt></a> is set to true, a click on [Edit]
from the results page (in the <em class="guilabel">Showing Rows</em> section) opens the
query window and puts the current query inside it. If set to false,
clicking on the link puts the <a class="reference internal" href="glossary.html#term-sql"><em class="xref std std-term">SQL</em></a> query
in the right panel&#8217;s query box.</p>
<p>If <span class="target" id="index-75"></span><a class="reference internal" href="#cfg_QueryHistoryDB"><tt class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['QueryHistoryDB']</span></tt></a> is set to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">true</span></tt>, all your

queries will be appended to the form, but only as long as your window is
opened they remain saved.</p>
<p>When using the JavaScript based query window, it will always get updated
when you click on a new table/db to browse and will focus if you click on
<em class="guilabel">Edit SQL</em> after using a query. You can suppress updating the
query window by checking the box <em class="guilabel">Do not overwrite this query
from outside the window</em> below the query textarea. Then you can browse
tables/databases in the background without losing the contents of the
textarea, so this is especially useful when composing a query with tables
you first have to look in. The checkbox will get automatically checked
whenever you change the contents of the textarea. Please uncheck the button
whenever you definitely want the query window to get updated even though
you have made alterations.</p>
<p>If <span class="target" id="index-77"></span><a class="reference internal" href="#cfg_QueryHistoryDB"><tt class="xref config config-option docutils literal"><span class="pre">$cfg['QueryHistoryDB']</span></tt></a> is set to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">true</span></tt> you can
